Abstract
An electrostatic monitoring system for detecting a risk of electrostatic discharge is used to detect conditions under which electrostatic discharge is likely, at distances sufficient to provide the time needed to take corrective action and mitigate any harmful effects. The system monitors electrostatic discharge conditions in the order of a few meters away, and preferably determines the direction of maximum hazard. By the invention, personnel can be screened upon entering a vulnerable area, sensitive equipment can be protected by placing sensors on the equipment to detect the risk of electrostatic discharge due to the local static potential and to preemptively turn off the equipment, and wearable sensors can be installed in clothing of personnel working in environments with high electrostatic hazard to protect both personnel and equipment.
